@makeitup305 I'm with you, and I'm a huge PMG fan.  I saw online somewhere that this palette is all metallics - which for me are harder to use.  I adore each shade individually but struggle to make a look out of this palette alone.  As with much of PMG - for me at least - it is a question of whether this specific product will work with how you do makeup.  I use this as a quick one shade wash of color and really do love the gold and silver.  But, it isn't my favorite of her palettes either.  For that, I personally turn to Bronze Seduction.  PMG is so expensive that I need to commit to each piece.  But I never regret any of them.  I just use some more than others. 

Wash of color...that's what I personally do with this palette...and maybe a little smudged liner.

@meganlisa I don't regret Decadence exactly, I just don't think I'm getting my money's worth out of it. Most of the dents in the shades (which aren’t much) are from me swatching and playing with it and not as much from actually wearing it. I think it just doesn't go with the way I usually do my makeup and maybe the undertones of some of the shades don't mesh with my skintone, idk. My other large PMG is also the Bronze Ambition and the special shades in that one really do something for me. I did a friend's makeup with that one this weekend using the green shift shade and she and I both got compliments all night about it.  I'd love it if she did Decadence as a blitz palette. Can you imagine?! That would be really be something! 

[sprocketta]

Can someone post some swatches or a look with the Ritualistic Rose quad once you receive it? I'm strongly considering it because I feel I would use all the colors. Which seems ridiculous because I don't wear much eyeshadow, but man, the colors are stunning and right up my alley and I think I'd be more motivated to wear it with this quad. That's a bit ridiculous, but the heart wants what the heart wants...

[sonnydee]

I got mine in today @sprocketta. the rose, to me at least feels grittier than the other quads. I'll post swatches tomorrow (its late & I'm too lazy to get everything out😜)

[Luvstravel]

@sonnydee, Pretty swatches, but it does look glittery.

[sonnydee]

so sorry @sprocketta, I remembered around midnight 😳 no primer, one swatch each

[sprocketta]

Thanks @sonnydee that may be too glittery for me. Since its now at Sephora, i will try in store myself. There's only 1 Sephora in the area (it's in downtown Chicago with no parking) that carries it. I used to work down the street so I could pop over on my lunch hour. Going now involves a 45 minute bus ride each way, which I'm not looking forward to. But come on, it's PMG. I'll pretty much do anything if I want something of hers. Lol.

[sonnydee]

it's pretty & I LOVE glitter.but..its alot of glitter @sprocketta. if I remember right, all 4 including the bronze have glitter. and you FEEL it when you swatch but the quads were the "special" ones so ...🤷

[sprocketta]

Thanks @sonnydee can't wait. I just wish I could see it in person. I love shimmer but not sure how much glitter there is. That's the biggest factor for me.

[Brutalitops]

@sprockettaDefinitely agree with @thatjedininja - Kinkysweat and Mel Thompson are huge PMG fans and Kinkysweat in particular usually posts multiple looks/videos to a palette (though I haven't watched hers on these quads yet). I will say though, while I also love these colors and it's tempting at the 10% off there's a lot of glittery glam in these quads. Nothing wrong with that- live ya life- but definitely not an everyday palette IMO so I feel like it's be difficult to get a ton of use out of it. In other words, I'm going to wait until it's sold out and then regret it  😅

[sprocketta]

@Brutalitops @thatjedininja it's already sold out. I put my email in the notification list for when it's back in stock. I'll see what happens when it's back in stock.

[Brutalitops]

Well @sprocketta looks like I’m out then 😂🤷‍♀️

[sprocketta]

@Brutalitops you mentioned it wasn't an everyday use thing. I feel like I disagree based on the swatches I've seen. Gold and pink shimmers are a love of mine. I think what it comes down to is how glittery it is. I hate the thought of buying it without seeing it in person. The temptalia review made it look not over the top. I'll watch the videos and evaluate from there. FOMO for sure.

[Brutalitops]

@sprocketta I definitely agree. I feel like PMG is a brand where you definitely can’t get a feel for it without seeing it in person. My guess is for sure the lighter pink is a glittery shade, the other three I’m not sure but if they’re just regular shimmers they’re very doable. Hard to say 🤷‍♀️

[thatjedininja]

@sproketta mine will arrive on Friday but here’s a swatch I found from Really Ree’s website. Check out Mel Thompson and Kinky Sweat on YouTube. They already got theirs and did comparison swatches within the collection. Ughhh it’s so freakin pretty! 😍😍😭😭😍

Christine from Temptalia confirmed that the Decadence palette has shipped, so not all orders were cancelled.

UPDATE per Christine: as of this morning, PMG PR said Decadence is not set to return.

[hersheykisseslv]

I received mine on Thursday. I am shocked to hear that they canceled orders, but I think it's because they had more purchases than what was in stock. Which I am now wondering how many of them did they have?

[Luvstravel]

@hersheykisslv, I'm glad you received yours.

[Luvstravel]

@TraceyEB, mine artived ❣

[Luvstravel]

@RebeccaBT, thanks. I wasn't going to post a pic because I really feel bad for the people who missed out ordering this palette, I just wanted people to know that Sephora filled and shipped orders placed. I'm truly grateful to have been able to snag one when they came back in stock.

[RebeccaBT]

@Luvstravel Beautiful!

Best,
Rebecca
